#but I feel bad for him at this exact moment 😂

[potential-fate]

“You know… It’s got plenty of room, you can use one of the rooms upstairs as an office for now, the other can be your friend’s room?” Elaine waved towards the staircase once more, “And it will continue being a good space for when you eventually find a nice girl and have kids.” 

Abe held back another grimace. Another ‘lifestyle’ his mother didn’t know about. Another secret he didn’t know how to even begin telling her. 

“Frankly I’m surprised,” Elaine said casually, the nervous smile she wore was the only thing that gave her away, “You really didn’t find any university girls to your liking?” 

“I– Uh… No mom, I didn’t” 

“I mean, here it made sense.” Elaine said, “Kaeileen Rivales and Ulyssa Durant aren’t exactly ideal girlfriend material. Always liked Pia…” 

“Mom.” 

“Sorry, sorry, I know you’re just friends.” Elaine shushed him, “I saw her with her fancy new boyfriend around town anyways. They look very happy.” 

Abe nodded halfheartedly. He’d barely spoken to Pia in a year.

“Don’t you want to be happy like that honey?” Abe couldn’t help the frown that followed that question. Leave it to his mother to bring up his love life when showing him around the kitchen.

But I thought Jokers said her/girl is meant to portray his MUSE in a universal language I.e love 🤔 did that narrative changed the moment you all saw gender neutral lyrics 😏 oh my bad, should've known jokers are known to make 101 excuses for your tanking ship. Btw he still went with girl at the end of the day and be mine written by him literally had be mine, my girl as lyrics. I guess a ghost wrote it.

Antis never actually read anything and it's so funny to me in a really depressing way. Lol

Jimin making jokes in the studio in his deep manly voice and beautiful giggles

And the actual lyrics being gender neutral too 😂

Would a ghost writing it make YOU feel better? Lol

In fact, Slow Dance.... Also gender neutral....

Intro: Rebirth, also Gender neutral

SGMB is all gender neutral, even Locos verse....

The only song in the final lyrics that ISN'T gender neutral in its lyrics is Who, which Jimin didn't actually write just contributed towards, but STILL was gender neutral in its original form...

And idk what you think pronouns ARE but they aren't a narrative structure or a plot point....

Let's define it together actually, some education 🥰 according to the Oxford dictionary, the exact definition is as follows:

Pronoun: a word that can function by itself as a noun phrase and that refers either to the participants in the discourse (e.g., I, you ) or to someone or something mentioned elsewhere in the discourse (e.g., she, it, this ).

a third-person pronoun by which an individual wishes to be referred to in order to indicate their gender identity.

noun: preferred pronoun; plural noun: preferred pronouns

So in what way does a pronoun change the overall arching themes of his album and the feelings he was trying to portray?

(the correct answer here is that, it doesn't... Just trying to help you out!)

Also, you can fully leave ships out of this. Who Jimin is or isn't dating has nothing to do with his album and his consistency in saying people rather than girls/women and his consistency in his queer coding. And even if he wrote girl/women/she/her in EVERY SINGLE SONG, it wouldn't change anything at all, except make me desire my non-existent girlfriend in my mind while I sing along. ��

"I guess a ghost wrote it" 😂🤣 antis just SAY things with their full chest and so much confidence in an effort to be dismissive and they just.... Come off as silly and bitter and (not be rude or mean, really) a little like they could use some more time in school. Media literacy classes should be mandatory I think, especially in this day and age 😂

Btw, if you are going to call me anything, I'm a yoonminkooker (they are my biases, my babies) and ARMY. That's it. Thanks ✌️

[acourtofthought]

Giving gifts to Gwyn while supposedly in love with Elain and also feeling a spark in his chest for Gwyn feels a lot like emotional cheating and that's triggering to me because I was cheated on by my first boyfriend.

Therefore I request no e/riel artwork during ElainWeek because of it especially not of her wearing said necklace.

See how that goes? It's very easy to play this game, using our past experiences as a way to police what others can share.

Also, Sarah doesn't need to like Tamlin for others to create Tamlain content, that's literally not how fandom works 😂

Sarah also clearly doesn't like the idea of e/riel either considering she had Rhys (someone she loves) hand Az his ass in the bonus, shutting that shit down like a Spirit Store in December yet that doesn't seem to stop Elain Week from turning into another e/riel week.

Sarah once made people believe in Tamlin and Feyre then later told us Tamlin's behavior wasn't appropriate. It seems clear some are still stuck on e/riel in exactly the way many of us thought Feyre and Tamlin were happy in book 1. They're missing how Sarah spoke of Tamlin being the bad guy after Feyre ended up leaving with Rhys, how she revealed the true issues with his behavior in the book which had Feyre's endgame romantic arc. Therefore trying to claim Az's actions towards Elain and Tamlin's towards Feyre's are different doesn't hold any weight because they're at a different point in their setup, Elain hasn't had her romantic arc book yet. The foundations are identical though. Now that we see the path Tamlin went down in book 2 it's really strange how some miss the similarities with what she's doing with the e/riel ship. Feyre and Tamlin had cute moments until she later showed us how toxic they were together. We didn't notice those issues in ACOTAR but she really delved into them in the book after.

Just because Az will not end up written to be a bad guy like Tamlin doesn't mean he wasn't starting to demonstrate the same behavior towards Elain, something he was in CANON called out for by Rhys and Amren. Sarah halted Az turning into Tamlin by pulling the plug on e/riel on Solstice. She halted Az turning into Tamlin by pulling the plug on Moriel. But we saw her write Az as getting into physical fights (or willing to) over these two females, not giving credit to these two females for what they're capable of, getting into fights with their friends over a female (just like the Tamlin and Lucien situation). Of course Az isn't as bad as Tamlin, but the key word to that is yet. Tamlin's rage caused him to explode a room. Rhys knocked Az from his rage before Az did something he regretted. He was on the exact same path that Tamlin was before his behavior escalated and that's why Sarah introduced a new possible love interest for Az. One we see him finally have a healthy and natural reaction too. One he's not overly fixated on being protective of (a major issue for Az just as it was for Tamlin).

Gwyn doesn't have to change Az, she hasn't even done anything but be herself. Az is just different around her all on his own.

Tamlin with Feyre:

Az, Az with Mor, and Az with Elain:

Az with Gwyn:

Just because Bloomsbury added a number for the Domestic Abuse Hotline it doesn't mean that domestic abuse is the only thing that triggers people while reading these books, we all have different experiences so we view the characters a certain way. (Bloomsbury is not a Board Certified Mental Health Professional, correct?). For some of us we do see Az acting a lot like Tamlin at times and time will tell if Sarah agrees, that she purposely wrote him as coming close to falling victim to the same issues but pulled him back just in time.

Therefore any group claiming their trigger is more valid than someone else's, claiming one trigger is more serious than another, is making themselves more important than the rest and is not an all inclusive group no matter what you're trying to convince yourselves of. To gaslight they'll say we're making light of domestic abuse while in reality they're the ones carelessly using abuse as a way to promote their fictional ship by tearing down others (i.e. Gwyn can't have a kinky sexual relationship because of her SA sending the message that SA survivors can't enjoy certain forms of sex).

Someone is always going to be triggered by something, even if it's something you personally enjoy so who is anyone to elevate themselves to judge and jury?

Shaming an actual person by saying they're gross for liking the idea of something in a make believe world, that they're not welcome because of their "disgusting" fantasy is you creating actual abuse to an actual person versus something that only happened to a make believe character of a make believe species in a make believe world.

And yes, horrible things happen to people in real life but Fantasy Books are not real life therefore your real life morals need not apply.

So basically a good tagging system / Master List would be a good way for all to enjoy without people having to be left out because of someone's trauma.

Enough

Hunt Athalar x female reader.

Summary: You and Hunt have been dating for a while now. Despite how much you have grown to love him, you refrain from saying anything in fear that he is still in love with Shahar. You realize that this is far from the truth.

A/N: This is a bit of an alternative universe with the reader in Bryce’s place (love Bryce though, so please no attacking me 😂). There’s references to parts of the first and second book. Haven’t read the third book, so please no spoilers. Other than that, hope anyone reading this enjoys it.

“She’s nothing like Shahar.”

Before you could hear more, you quickly walk away from where Hunt stands before he can see you and walk out of the 33rd Legion.

____________________________________________

Hunt told you about Shahar.

About how much he loved her. How her death impacted him so much that he hadn’t had a serious relationship in centuries.

Though you were happy that he had trusted you enough to share that with you, you couldn’t help but feel as if you’d never compare to her for she was everything that you weren’t. Strong, brave, beautiful. But more importantly, an angel just like him.

You and Hunt met when he was assigned to guard you after some powerful individuals were out to get you in the hopes of using your power to gain information as you were a dream walker. A rare gift in Lunathion. Yet, it somehow existed in your family line. On your mother’s side to be exact. The last known person exemplifying this ability was your grandmother.

Despite Hunt being a bit standoffish initially, you both eventually grew close to one another as he was staying in your apartment until the bad guys were caught. Anyone with eyes could see the connection between the two of you as you did things together that couples would do. From going eating takeout together to a watching movies together.

However, things changed between the two of you when he came back to your house all beaten and bruised after a night of being sent on a mission to take care of some people. After helping him get cleaned up, you brought him to your room and cuddled. This eventually resulted in him falling asleep in your lap as you raked your fingers through his dark shoulder length hair.

It was at that moment you saw a tormented male trying to survive the horrors of his past. From that day on, you two became a couple. Though, it had to stay low profile until the baddies were caught. Once they were, you and Hunt continued to living together.

You had truly believed that everything between the two of you was going well until you heard that sentence.

You had know idea what hurt more, hearing those words come from Hunt’s mouth or the fact that he was telling his friends and colleagues this.

____________________________________________

After dinner, you and Hunt are sitting on the living room couch, watching a movie together. The space between you two is evident.

Since Hunt got home from work, the interactions you’ve had with him brief. Though you try to ignore the words you heard earlier that day, they find way into your mind again.

She’s nothing like Shahar.

You must have been silent for a while because Hunt had turned off the tv and turned, looking straight at you.

“Babe… what’s wrong? You’ve only spoken a few words since I have come home and you’re not cuddling me like usual. Also, we didn’t have lunch together like we usually do every Friday. Is something wrong?”

Instantly, you shake your head.

“Come on (y/n), I know that isn’t true. Please, whatever it is, tell me and we can fix it together.”

Together?

You’d almost fall for his sweet words if you hadn’t heard what he said to Isaiah and Naomi earlier.

“I had gone to your work today to have lunch together when I heard what you said to Isaiah and Naomi.”

The angel’s smile is there only for a few seconds longer as if realizing what you were referring to.

“Baby…what you thought you heard this afternoon, isn’t what you think it is.” He stops to take a breath before continuing. “When you heard me saying that you are nothing like Shahar, I meant it.”

You wince before looking down to hide your tears.

“You are better than Shahar.” The angel pauses before continuing. “Looking back on the time I had with Shahar, I thought I loved her when in actually it was infatuation. From the time you and I have had together, I realized that the the moments I shared with her were ploys for her to gain my affection so that I can play a part in her rebellion all those years ago. Everyone in 33rd can see that.”

Hunt can tell you still look gets onto his knees and hugs you, holding onto your waist.

“I love you so much and I don’t want to taint you. You are literally the epitome of light and goodness while I’m darkness and corruption”, the angel in front of you says tearfully.

You are shocked by those words. He said those three little words that held such impact.

It doesn’t take long for you to take the angel’s chin into your left hand, looking into his dark, tear stained eyes. A contrast from his usual brooding stare.

“The man I love is more than that. An evil man wouldn’t feel guilt or remorse for what he has done. You do. You wipe his tears with your thumbs, kissing where the tear stains for. “Also, you were in a position where you had no choice”, your mind thinking back to the late Sandriel and Micah.

You then get to your knees to be leveled with Hunt, letting your fingers travel through his dark hair as a way to ground him. Though not as long as it used to be, you can’t help touching the remainder of his dark tresses.

Hunt then lets his hands gently touch your cheeks for a few seconds before bringing your face near to his own.

“I’m so lucky to have you as my love and mate.”

“Mate?” you look at him shockingly.

Realizing what he said, Hunt tries to explain.

“Yes, mate. I understand if it’s too soon for you to say but I want you to know that you are my mate… When I’m around you, I feel this need to protect you as well as want to be a better male.”

You smile at him. “I feel it too. Though, I was afraid to say something in fear that it wasn’t reciprocated.”

The two of you then lean into share a passionate kiss, whispering your love and commitment to one another for all eternity.

Pit Babe episode 2 rewatch/live commentary (part 1)

Still no pic...bad tumblr, bad 🥺

Get off of my screen with your smug face and beautiful hair !!!

Get him random reporter !

100 millions, you know, just some pocket money😑

Thank you Way (i guess) for confirming that the mafia is lurking somewhere in the back ground

"gnah gnah gnah he's your Daddy" well guess what Way, he's also yours............f*ck off (i have nothing intelligent to add)

Oh but i'm pretty sure he has a very clear idea off something else being penetrated...now am i talking about Way or Tony ? (both)

How old was Kenta when he became Tony guard dog ? Was it before or after Pete left ?

Kenta and more specificly his face broke me during this scene. The disbelief on his face after the fist slap, you just know that he never ever thought that Tony would use physical violence with Babe, THE golden child.

I aslo think that this exact moment made Kenta very aware of the fact he would/could never escape Tony's violence.

Everyone need an Alan in their life, especially Babe...and Jeff....and Charlie...basiclly anyone adopted by Tony

The tragic irony of Babe saying that he will not let Tony control him to Way literally mindcontrolling him 20 second later

(Side note n°? : this is when i trully perceived Way for what he is.....guess i have to thank Lhong for teaching me about VERY BAD friend)

Babe is pissed !

At this point why even wear that tank top hmm?

Back hug!!! Charlie = physical affection

JEFF!!! with his pink milkshake.....i love him so much

Kenta look so relaxed in this scene and almost proud of his work....can someone (Pete) hire him as an actual assistant/secretary, pretty please,

Now, what the reason behind Tony choosing Kim, what makes him so interresting ? (except the fact that he is really pretty?!) And i'm pretty sure Benz is not 1.80m

Okay, now let's talk about Babe house. More specifically how open it is. And how it's "perfect" for Babe, someone who spend his formative years somewhere more akin to a prison than a house. Who probably lived his fist few year of freedom in small (and more likely shitty) appartement, before having the money to by this specific house.

And i wonder if the holes in the walls were there before he brought it or if he destroyed those walls himself, so that nothing could stand between him and the front door?

As for the car in the living room, coupled with the entire collection of mini cars on display, it almost look like a little boys dream house (plus the Game Console and toys)

And the fact that Babe put himself right in front of the front door while waiting for Charlie to come back😭(not thinking about child!Babe waiting by the door in Tony's mansion for his father to come back....)

What salary are you talking about Babe ?

It's been less than a week and Charlie already caught on Babe's bullsh*t

Aww they're playing together

Is Pooh the best actor in the series? No. But one thing that he does extremelly well is using his eyes to convey a lot of his feeling (and his thoughts).

The way he keep cradling the back of Babe's head during their conversation.

At first i had a hard time figuring what Babe was feeling during this scene, but my guess -> annoyance ->a spark of fear after being overpowered mixed with arousal -> Charlie catching up on that "are you sure that you want me to let you go"-> Babe realising that he doen'st want Charlie to let him go -> giving in with "that* look on his face

oh look, screenshot are back !!!!

i never noticed the f*cking stikers on the microwave 😂

(never mind, no more screenshot 😭 why tumblr!!!!)

More NorthSonicDean doing mecanic stuff, with Way supervising and giving instruction (oh my, i'm being nice toward him)🔥🔥🔥

Once again, Sonic wear red and North Blue

Hiii Dean, you're still very cute 🥰

If anyone wonder, i got my idea for the WinnerDean "rivals on social media" AU from the comment about the Red racing team (let's be honest it's Winner) leaving bad comments under the X-hunter post

ooooouuuuuhhhh, i wonder who that boy is ????

to anyone who was doubting Jeff because he's wearing the red bag, i kindly ask you to watch Sonic outfit reeeaally closely

Dean being next to the car to teleporting in front of the blue pillar to being next to the car again ! (all the while looking really tiny)

North and Sonic being on each side of Alan like two little devil on his shoulders

Yeah okay, Way is making a good point

And that it for part 1 (which is already way to long and will be even longer once i will be able to add the sceenshot and gif)

I'm horribly late ? yes, but i will try to catch up, because even if life is shit right now, doing this makes me really happy. Also i currently working on the prompt fic 😝

And if anyone wants to add something about one of my theorie/though, fell free to do so by comment and tags or by sending an "ask" 🤗

The Wedding (Drabble)

Modern AU Retired Mob Enforcer!Din Djarin x fem!reader

A/N: What if I never finish the “main” fic and just write one-shots and drabbles in this AU (Series Masterlist)? What then? 🤷🏻‍♀️😂 Anyways, in the AU, Din used to be an enforcer for the Fett Family (now he owns and runs a boxing gym where the mob guys hang/work out 🥊) Let’s go to a Mob wedding! 🙌🏻

Warnings: 18+ content (MDNI please), no smut (but promises of?), established relationship, no implied age gap, dirty talk and pet names (baby, pretty girl, pretty bird, reader calls Din "Daddy" once).

Word count: 860

It wasn’t every day that the niece of one Don married the son of another. 

Security teams from both families had been working tirelessly, and almost miraculously, together for the past few months to make sure the wedding went off without a hitch. Even top dogs like Din who were technically out of the game had been called in to consult and strategize, all so that both sides of the aisle could celebrate without the threat of any bad blood spilling.  To everyone’s happy surprise, the celebratory spirit had been infectious and all evening long, new and old bonds of camaraderie were made and cemented with good food and even better music.

With the happy couple having had their honeymoon send off and the evening almost over for most, it would be particularly brazen for someone to try something now.

And yet, there’s a disturbance that’s only getting louder emanating from the reception hall that the venue staff is trying to take down.  It’s probably nothing that can’t be handled quickly, but Din doesn’t want you to be near if things turned ugly.

“Pretty bird, I need you to let Jimmy take you home while I go take care of this.  Can you do that for me?”

You’re already wrapped in Din’s arms; it was a lovely wedding, but you’ve missed him.  Although he was a guest, he had also been working during the event and tended to his security responsibilities throughout the evening.  You wouldn’t have much minded the lack of dancing or him disappearing at random points during the reception if he didn’t look so fucking hot tonight.  With his arms still tight around your waist, you lean away to run your hands over the dark suit jacket that hugs his broad shoulders so snugly, feeling his muscular arms underneath you let out a deep sigh.  From the moment you had spotted him when you walked into the venue foyer earlier, he had taken your breath away.  You were stopped mid-stride by the sight of him filling out his perfectly tailored black suit, going over security plans with the Don’s men; when you saw him point to the floor plans, the silver rings he wore on his thick fingers came into view and you had immediately felt heat pooling between your legs.  You remember that he had looked up at that exact moment and caught you practically drooling; you're sure he’s been purposefully teasing you all evening ever since. 

It started during the ceremony and later the reception, Din had systematically inched his hand higher and higher up the thigh slit of your dress every time he was seated next to you.  While mingling during the stand-up cocktail hour, his hand had felt hot on the small of your back, occasionally dipping lower to palm your ass when he thought no one was looking.  That was to say nothing of all the low whispers in your ear throughout the night, ranging from sweet compliments to dirty ramblings that made you blush.  Dipping his lips just below your earlobe, Din’s trimmed facial hair would graze your jaw so lightly it made your skin prickle.

“Look so gorgeous tonight, pretty girl.  What a lucky guy I am, having you on my arm.”

“You shouldn’t be allowed to look so sexy in that dress, baby.  Gonna have to punish you for it later tonight.” 

“You’re driving me so fucking crazy, pretty bird.  My cock has been leaking for you all night.”

And of course, you had teased him right back.  Dragging your nails with feather light touches up and down the back of his neck and toying with the curls at the base of his neck whenever he sat down next to you.  Slipping your hands under the front of his suit jacket and raking your fingers possessively over his stomach, then discretely tucking your fingers into the waistband of his dress pants while making polite small talk with other guests during cocktail hour.  You would rest your head in the crook of his neck and coo back all sorts of compliments and longings of your own.

“Din, this suit makes you look like a brickhouse, fits you so perfectly.”

“Can’t wait to feel your weight on me, baby.  My panties are soaked just thinking about being underneath you.”

“I want to suck those rings right off your fingers, daddy.”

That last one had Din threatening to bend you over the dinner table and take you in front of all the other guests right then and there.

Din looks as pained as you feel about the prospect of delaying going home and fulfilling all the dirty promises you had exchanged over the course of the evening.  Running your fingers through his combed-back hair before cupping his face, you plant a chaste kiss on his lips and nod in assent to his request.  “Please be safe, baby.  Come home soon?  I’ll be waiting for you, Din.”  You look up at him, doe eyed and desperate.

Din pulls you in for a greedy goodbye kiss, and whispers low so only you can hear, “Keep that pretty dress on, sweetheart.  I want to be the one to take it off of you tonight.”

Part 2

[wisyhana]

These are some pages that I made as fanart for a fanfic i Really Love. It's something rare that I look back and actually kinda liking the result- 😂 I've been trying to improve my panels flow(?)/pacing And the Lettering- adding words in comics is pretty hard 🥺 if you had some insights, pls let me know ❤ or just give me what you think... Thank you so much!!

Hi! Thank you for waiting this long hahaha

First of all I love your Yugi, is so freaking adorable, big fan over here aaaaaa.

And okay we're gonna talk about comics. Oh boy. It's not a topic I dont like talking but it's something I get way too.... intense, even if I feel I don't have much to defend with. Anyway I'll try to not be so detailed and serious about it so I can bring a decent commentary!

Disclaimer that I have a lot of issues with the use of thought bubbles, but that's a me thing. Myself I try to avoid them so I can focus on a "show more, talk less" type of flow. So if I start talking about them it's because of that, not that you'r doing a bad thing or anything.

I like how you use the panels, by themselves and ignoring the dialogues, they work perfectly fine! I think my thing with the pacing is that I'd draw a 3-4 pages comics instead of 2 for this scene alone. It's a pain I know, but I think for this type of scenario adding a little more of time could help to appreciate some details, like Kaiba being notoriously angry, the moment he touches Yugi's forehead, etc. But this is also a very personal opinion because I'm a sucker for very sloooow interactions, so all this I'm saying is for the sake of a slower pacing. Sadly you gotta draw more or write less if you want to get that effect, also you can get in a situation where things end up vague and ugh, what a pain hjdfhjhds.

I have a serious problem with dialogue bubbles, I never know where to put them Dx. I always feel they're on the way or that they hinder the reading or that they look straight up ugly hahahaha. I think you use a good space for them! they're not in the way of the faces or important scenes, but I can see you needed to add arrows for the conversation to work. In my opinion the dialogue works perfectly without the arrows. We all know there are two people talking so having only the faces on the bubbles was enough to understand who was talking and what order follow.

Now, if you want to work on bubbles without using the faces to show who's talking and don't lose the order in the way, I could recommend something like this:

Sorry if it looks way too clumsy! But a thing we artist have to deal is how the order of the bubbles affects on the flow of the dialogue. Specially when we don't have a specific way to show how the person talks (for example japaneses have many ways to show character's expression so it's easier for them to identify it.) So we need to focus on the flow.

A wonderful person who talks TONS of this matter is the motherfucker Scott McCoud!

This is just an example of how dialogues can contribute to the time and spaces and how the order affects the reading. This is not the exact example for what I mean but Scott is a badass of the comic and the complexity of it.

Understanding Comics The invisible Art is a masterpiece, I blame him for making me doubt is I'm doing a good job or not.

Okay before I go way too into this, one last thing and this is personal opinion. I love white background but you gotta be very careful to not make it look like lazyness. You don't need to draw a full background but maybe adding some shading can help to make the illusion of space rather than having a blank space. Of course this is just my opinion.

Anyway, I really like how you work! my huge recommendation would be to simply take your time on it, I feel it shows a bit of impatience or nerviousness, but that's just my idea. So far you're going a good way on creating comics and I'd love to see more of them :3

Hope this helped you in some way! And as always don't forget to have fun drawing your beautiful bois!

this is me everytime I draw comic and find a inconsistency.

I don't understand why people are so insistent on pushing Emily's sexuality into being lesbian. Don't get me wrong, I also want Emily to have a girlfriend (though not JJ for me, sorry—I don't understand the urge to pair them together, especially when JJ has been married for 10 years with 2 kids). However, with Tara, for example, I'm all for it. I know the initial plan was for Emily to be a lesbian, but throughout Criminal Minds' 16 years, we've seen Emily love men too. Why couldn't Emily be bisexual? Why do people keep pushing her sexuality into something she might not be? And why do people love to tear apart a marriage for their ship? I'm all for it if JJ isn't married; I shipped them before JJ got pregnant and got serious with Will. But now, in my opinion, Jemily is as bad as Jeid, sorry. I really just want to understand; this isn't a hate ask

Bruh I am on the same page as you.

In early seasons, yeah I ship jemily hardcore, there’s so many little moments that linger and toe the line of platonic relationship. Then the writers/show runners knew what they could tease/bait into getting more views/people to come back week after week & continued to do it. (Aka 200/them hallucinating each other).

And that’s the exact same thing that AJ’s comment in that interview was… bait. Theyve already clairified that Will isnt dying/divorcing, the actor just isnt returning. To do jemily in s17 makes no sense, esp after the health scare in s16 that will came out on the good side of, if theyd killed him off in s16 then maaaaaaaaybe.

Now imo, Temily in s17+ does work. They used s16 to establish tara as queer, and then could easily use that progress of emily either saying that she’s bi or having her start to question her sexuality & bonding with tara over it until they realize feelings.

YES. THANK YOU. And yeah she was supposed to be a lesbian originally but there is no erasing the men she dated in canon, no matter how much people may hate them. (Imma get hate for this but i didnt mind Mendoza…) and THAT likely comes from such biphobia/bi erasure within the lgbt community, which is unfortunate. If emily was to be queer in s17+ she would either be bi, or be a late in life lesbian, realizing that maybe that’s why things never seemed to work out. Honestly, i’d prefer her to be bi. We dont have enough representation on television.

I guess i dont really have an answer, but those are my thoughts 😂😂

[lennsart]

what is the autism fic about?

this is starting to feel like bullying-WHOSE FEELINGS ARE ETTING HURT???

and b*tch are you okay, is someone having a breakdown in there omg FEED ME

Ooooo you really sniped two of my most dark fics out of the three you chose 😂

I've already answered about "This is starting to feel like bullying" so I'll answer for the other two !

Let's start with the softer one :

- The Autism fic

"The Autism fic" is about... What's in the title ! lmao

It is also one of the Legend-centric one, but everyone has an important role and will get their moment to shine :)

Directly from my notes :

"Everyone is autistic 🎉

Legend has been raised to hide and mask it, and is ""conditionned"" to think it's rude to let autistic traits show

So at first most of the Links are like "wow, what an asshole"

[...]

Time and Wars are going full parents mode, they want everyone to feel comfortable in the group, so they try to protect them from ableism... which Legend does without knowing what it is

So they don't get along well

Actually it's like :

Know they are autistic and what it means :

- Warriors (spent a lot of time researching trauma response and the way the brain worked after the war (firstly to help his friends))

- Time (learned the terms during the war)

- Four (not the exact word, but he knows about neurodivergence)

Know they are "different" :

- Hyrule

- Sky

- Legend

Never really thought about it :

- Twilight (when he was a rancher it perfectly met his needs (I'm sure petting goats when you're overwhelmed is like THE remedy) and afterwards, some people were rude in castletown but he thought it was because he was a villager)

- Wind (is seen as a hyperactive and curious kid but not really more)

Wild is special because he knows, but also think it's because of the 100 years sleep thing ? And who cares, he saved the world and spend most of his time alone anyway."

I have the story planned out and a few scenes written, but it's mostly ideas and random scenes, it's far from being done (and not the wip I'm working on right now !)

Basically, in the downfall timeline people get more scared of difference and intolerant (maybe even because the fallen hero was autistic and they're like "well look how that turned out", but it's... A pretty sad idea). So Legend has been raised to hide it, and have constently been told that the way he acted (stimming, questionning social cues and stuff) was rude, unproper, and more importantly, dangerous for him.

I'll put the beginning here, because it summarize the whole thing pretty well, but I'm sorry for the length of this answer zhehhzehbhbezhez

Snippet :

"Apparently, the weirdness was a hero thing. 

Legend was quite puzzled upon this discovery. He had thought his whole life that the weird was a 'him' thing, and a bad one. That what was natural to him was very rude and that he needed to change it.

[...]

He was used to conceal.

He was used to act, smile and look in the eyes and laugh with everyone else. He was used to control, checking every few minutes if his hands were still and quiet. He was used to pretend to be like everyone else, and to be able to release those barriers when he was home, to collapse for an hour or so in his room, in the dark and under his covers.

Somehow, when he traveled during quests, he got surprised to note that he was less tired from a day of walking and exploring than from a day in town. Somehow he felt more like himself when he was alone on the road and bouncing on his feet when he saw a fun animal that he had never seen before.

Somehow, he had associated that feeling with travels.

And he was quickly understanding, as he spent time with other heroes, that he should have associated it with being alone.

He couldn't rest. Well, no, he could rest, they slept on the road and they didn't overwork themselves, but he couldn't rest like he did at home. 

Because everyone would see, and it wasn't because they had some of the weird that they would accept all of his.

The first few days, he managed. He had met the heroes while in a bad mood, and didn't bother to force any smile he didn't want to. They categorized him as grumpy, and not only was that fair, "grumpy" was an incredibly easier role to act on than "agreeable".

(Probably because it was less polite, but... It was a bit late to be, and they didn't seem to mind too much.)

But after a while, it started to wear him out.

He joked less and mocked more. He was more tired and thus less considerate. He didn't manage his tone as well, nor his facial expressions.

He played with his rings a lot (which was an acceptable way to let out some steam, he had found out while observing adults in town, but only as long as it didn't become obsessive). He felt frustrating needs to just gesticulate nonsensically until his body felt less stiff, less foreign, more... Right.

He didn't feel right, was what it was.

And he resented the other heroes for not making any effort."

- Bitch are u okay

I want to clarify one thing : when a wip have a funny title, most of the time they are speaking to me !

"This is starting to feel like bullying" meant bullying towards Legend, that I kept writing whump about.

So the question "bitch are u okay" is directed towards ME, and the answer is no :D (at least when I started writing this)

This is legit the heaviest wip I worked on :)

To put it simply, Legend is depressed, very much so, and Dark Link feeds off the heroes' negative feelings. This doesn't mix well as you can guess !

The first part of the fic would be a descent to hell. Poor Lege is already struggling, and the more he tries to make an effort and do things, the more he feels like he messes up. So why try at all ?

I think I have written about darker themes, but the fact that this is often Legend's POV makes it kind of... Hard to read, in a way ?

I only write on this wip when I'm either in a good mood and know it won't affect me, or when I struggle and need to vent, no in-between because then it would make me feel down.

And, yeah, Legend is having a breakdown in this one. A big one 😅

But what is important to me is that the second part of the fic is about healing. It's about how having a good support system helps, how healing isn't linear but progress is always progress. It's not just a vent fic, I want Lege to get better, dammit !

The thing is, I like "healing" as a theme for my fictions, and the next long fic I plan on posting also speaks about this (with a twist). I just don't know if I should fuse those two fics (but I'll lose some of what makes them special in both cases) or if I should just assume that I'm always writing the same stories in different fonts 😆

I don't have a big snippet for this one, but just to set the tone, it starts like this :

" It's just one of those days.

Legend wakes up, barely opens his eyes, and suddenly, existing is too hard.

Getting up and eating and talking with friends sounds like torture. Having to wait for the night to be able to curl up under his covers is already an ordeal, and for Nayru's sake he's not even out of his bedroll yet. "

(I'm sorry for the length of this post oh my god now THAT is rambling)

Estera - Ch 30 - Introduce

It’s been a while… nearly a fortnight, but they’re back ;)

What went before

I struggled with this one, dunno why, but most of the good ideas and one-liners are down to @sofasurf! So much so I’m tagging her in for the next one.

This chapter is 100% silly friends being silly and daft brothers being daft because everyone needs to let their hair down once in a while… And they need a break before anything else falls on anyone…

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

…

The three “your contact is typing” dots bounced for a while then stopped. Then bounced again. Then stopped.

She put the phone down and continued to make breakfast but within moments picked it up again, intrigued. What was he taking so long to write?

…

…

How’s your day?

…

Did you know stress balls are not actually indestructible???

Um, yeah - I’m a primary school teacher. That’s basically day 1 of training.

Huh.

I sense there is a story behind this… sharing is caring you know?

THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE INDESTRUCTIBLE!

O….K…. Imagine me saying generic reassuring things and patting you on the shoulder.

My shoulder is covered in stress ball goop. But thank you, that weirdly helps.

🤭 oh dear… that stuff is a beast to wash out

Well there’s another Italian tailor I have to avoid for the rest of my life…

Not again!

I have glitter in my hair 😭

I’m sure it looks beautiful. I’ll ask one of your brothers to send me a photo.

I’m not getting out the shower until it’s gone.

You will literally starve to death.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

So today I had to confiscate an action figure which had Alan’s head, John’s torso and your limbs. Should I be concerned about these children?

That’s… horrifying. I’m never coming back to the UK. 😲

They all say hi by the way.

I’m too scared to say hi back to them now 😬

On the topic of the action figures…

Yes?

I have to know - what WAS wrong with Gordon’s novelty action figure of you? You never told me…

You don’t want to know.

Oh I really really do.

…

Oh go on, I’ll only be imagining worse.

…

The figure was making pancakes while wearing a frilly blue “Kiss The Chef” apron.

That doesn’t seem so bad?

Only the apron.

Oh my… 🤣

Speak of this to no-one.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Hey Estera, got any plans this evening?

Aside from vegging out with Bez and watching Celebrity Alligator Wrestling?

I mean I wouldn’t want to tear you away from that…

I could be persuaded… :)

Well, we happen to be in Europe right now (John had a thing) and Penny is visiting some Earl near Exeter and suggested we pop by and go out for a drink.

John’s not Earthside very often so she takes whatever chances she can get to catch up with him (they are old college friends, did I ever mention that?)

ANYWAY as it’s not far from you I wondered whether you might like to join us?

Oh wow thank you that’s very kind of you to think of me! It would be lovely to meet John and Lady Penelope if you’re sure I wouldn’t be intruding?

Of course not!

Virgil is with us too and says you have to come because he’s already bored with mine and John’s company.

Ok, I must now tell you that he did not in fact use those exact words.

Or to say that.

Apparently I am maddening.

Hi Estera, it’s Virgil. Please ignore what my idiot brother is saying. It would be lovely to see you if you’d like to come but please don’t feel any pressure.

Girjebvaxbnnnnn&&&&&&&

It’s Scott again, I’ve retrieved my comm. Sorry about my annoying TINY LITTLE BABY sibling who snatches things that aren’t his.

😂 I think I’m sold. I can get to Exeter in an hour? Where and when should I meet you?

John says the place is near the Cathedral - send a message when you get there and I’ll come and find you?

Fab! Ok I shall do that.

Ha!

What?

F-A-B is kind of a thing for us.

Oh! Oh I should have known that!

Reuben and Alex refuse to use any other affirmative words.

Why though?

Long story, tell you later maybe.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Estera rounded the corner of the cathedral and yelped as a strong gust nearly ripped her arm off in its determination to steal her umbrella. She wrestled it back and ducked into the shelter of the huge doorway only to conclude she should have let the wind take it as it was no longer any use to anyone other than as an art piece. “Mangled: A study in nylon and flimsy aluminium” perhaps. She tucked it under her arm and pulled out her phone:

Hi! I’m on The Green :) Don’t worry about coming out in all this, just let me know where you are and I’ll find you.

On my way!

Scott! It’s chucking it down! Just give me directions or somewhere to aim for.

I like the rain!

You’re a nutter.

A what?

… err British for ‘totally normal and rational’.

OK I will take your word for that and begin using ‘nutter’ regularly in a professional context.

Um… sure. I see no issues arising there.

😝 alright then

I think I see you!

She looked up and laughed as she spotted a lanky figure silhouetted against a streetlamp waving enthusiastically from across the green. She raised her arm in greeting, pulled her hood tighter around her face and then jogged towards him. She started out dodging the huge puddles with strictly limited success then gave up in favour of a direct route, swerving off course just the once to dump the useless brolly in a waste bin.

As soggy as she felt she was by the time their paths met, she wasn’t a patch on the drowned-but-grinning rat bouncing gently on his toes before her, hair plastered to his forehead and shirt clinging to him in a way she was relieved Barbara the receptionist couldn’t see.

Wait, shirt?

“Scott! I KNOW you own a coat.”

He waved a hand dismissively. “It always takes so long to dry the thing out. Cotton is fast.”

“Aren’t you freezing?”

“Nope!” He grinned and produced an umbrella with a flourish, pressing a button to automatically extend and open it and then raising it over her head in one smooth motion. The little squeak he emitted as he did so was anything but smooth however.

“Did I just hear an excited giggle from Mr Commander Tracy?”

“Also nope. Definitely not. Unrelatedly aren’t these just-press-the-button-and-SWOOSH-it’s-an-umbrella umbrellas just the best kind of umbrellas?”

Estera raised an eyebrow and wondered with amusement how many drinks he’d managed to put away already. “Certainly beats mine which I just ditched back there…” she looked at him smiling down at her from very much outside the umbrella’s zone of protection, water streaming down his face “although, given you have such a swanky brolly why did you not actually use it?”

“I told you, I like the rain.”

Estera raised an eyebrow. “Well, you’d do well living here then, we get a lot of it.” Shuddering slightly she shook water out of her sleeve. “Shall we get where we’re going before we grow gills?”

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

“He’s going to get absolutely soaked isn’t he?”

Virgil watched his elder brother stroll casually towards the doorway and then launch himself out into the rain like an excited puppy. He couldn’t help smiling fondly.

“You know what he’s like about rain, John. Anyway the wet shirt look isn’t going to do him any harm is it…?”

“VIRGIL! Honestly you’re impossible.” John’s facepalm was a masterpiece.

“Well, before he brings this young lady back, somebody had best update me on what, exactly, we believe her status is.”

“Virgil is convinced they are an item. Scott denies it.”

“I didn’t say that. I just think she’s good for him. He is happy. I like that. So I’m inclined to like her. And if we’re about to meet our future sister-in-law that’s fine by me.”

Penelope chuckled, Virgil the hopeless romantic was certainly living up to expectation. John was frowning slightly however and that intrigued her.

“What do you think, John darling?”

“I’m interested in what has him so… interested. They seem to spend a lot of time talking, yet all I can see they have in common is shared trauma and an unhealthy approach to adrenaline.”

“That is more than many people have when beginning a friendship, John. That doesn’t mean it is all there will ever be. Look at you and I, all we had in common was the inability to escape the weight of our surnames and yet we’ve had some superb times.”

John smiled and raised his lemonade in a silent toast.

“Well, I’m excited” Virgil commented. “Let’s not scare her by being too… you know.” he gestured vaguely.

“Excellent social etiquette tip, there, thank you Virgil.” his brother muttered.

Penelope smiled into her cocktail. This was going to be an interesting evening.

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

“You ok?”

Estera had slowed almost imperceptibly as they approached the door to the boutique pub Penny had selected and Scott paused as they reached the shelter of the porch, his hand resting on the heavy oak door.

“Yes! Uh, a little nervous I guess? Last time I spoke to John I was… rather embarrassing.”

“Aww, no you weren’t. You were just worried about me and that’ll go in your favour I promise. It’s pretty much a family pastime from what I can make out…” he pulled an exaggerated grimace and got a little smile in response.

“I can imagine.” She appeared to be steeling herself.

“They don’t bite, I promise. But…” he touched her shoulder lightly and ducked down a little to look her in the eye “if you’d rather not… we could go somewhere else and I can catch up with them later?”

“Oh goodness no. I’m looking forward to it. Honestly, I am! Let’s go inside, it’s freezing out here.”

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

“Hey look, John, Estera found a drowned puppy!”

“Goodness, doesn’t it look tragic?”

Penelope leaned backwards away from Scott as he responded to his brothers’ banter by shaking himself like a dog and showering the table with droplets from his hair before wringing his sleeve out down the back of Virgil’s collar who himself yelped like Sherbet in a snowdrift.

“Right for that you’re buying the next round big brother.”

“And this is novel, how?”

His friend hung back a little, watching the interaction with a mixture of amusement and mild confusion. Penelope gestured to Estera to take a seat beside her and cut across the brotherly jibing:

“Might it be an appropriate moment to introduce us Scott?”

The supposedly eldest and most mature of the pack looked up from where he’d flung his arms around John’s neck in what was clearly a weaponised soggy hug and smiled impishly before moving over and crouching down next to Estera’s chair.

“Estera, this is Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward - she is as lovely as she is fabulous and I’m sure you’ll get along.”

“Oh, I don’t doubt that for a moment. And please call me Penny!”

Estera smiled and offered a hand which Penny grasped with both of hers and gave her a conspiratorial wink.

Scott cleared his throat importantly “Next, I am delighted to present for your approval Annoying-Little-Brother-One who also goes by don’t-call-me-Johnny”

“Ha. Ha. Scooter. It’s a pleasure to meet you in person, Estera, although why you are wasting your time in the company of this absolute fool I cannot fathom.”

“And last but very much not least, either in importance or sheer bulk, here is Annoying-Little-Brother-Two who we refer to as short-stuff, the-tank, care-bear or, occasionally, Virgil”

Virgil leaned across the table to shake her hand. “You do realise what an insufferable creature our eldest brother is don’t you?”

“Oh yes, spotted that one straight away.”

Scott clutched his chest and gasped “I am hurt! A plague o’ both houses! I am sped!” before collapsing on to his back with melodramatic flailing and a range of choking noises before lying still with his tongue lolling and eyes rolled back.

Penelope giggled delicately while Estera tutted and rolled her eyes.

“You still have a couple of paragraphs of monologue before you’re allowed to expire, Mercutio. C+ must try harder.”

Scott pouted while John held up his hand for a high five.

Penelope caught Virgil’s eye and he grinned.

“Death doesn’t get you out of your round big bro. Get your soggy butt off the floor and over to the bar while we fill Estera in on some key anecdotes.”

Scott’s expression of dread wasn’t melodrama at all.

Chapter 31…

[tinknevertalks]

For the kiss prompt... Sam/Jack SG-1, #8 pleeeeease

Oh look, it's another Upgrades ficlet. Who ever would've guessed? 😂😂😂 Sam/Jack, prompt 8 being: a kiss in secret/a forbidden kiss. Hope you enjoy!

--

Nothing To See

--

They’d been running a while, the thrum of adrenaline blending and merging with the effects of the armbands, their breathing (minimal as their breaths were) a rhythmic tandem. Sam hadn't felt this free since their impromptu vacation after destroying the Replicators on Thor's ship. Were they even running? The impact of feet on concrete said yes, her lungs said no. It was all so easy. The clarity of it all filled her senses. Glancing to her right, the Colonel right there, smiling back, struck her with undeniable truth - he was locked firmly in her heart.

Still, however good her reactions were, some things could be missed in the midst of recognition. Deciding to run backwards at full pelt, and goading her Colonel to chase her, she bounced heavily against the wire fence around the mountain. That wouldn't have been so bad, but the force made her rebound into him.

Hard.

So hard they tumbled to the floor like the Tiffany song, giddy mirth and unyielding earth and-- Ho boy, that better not be his gun. The roll stopped, Sam on her back, the Colonel halfway laid between her legs and crushing her hips (and hadn't she dreamt of that exact type of moment a mere thousand times before?), his (strong) arms holding him up, caging her head between his hands.

“Jeez Carter, run much?” he asked, laughing. They both laughed hard until Sam shifted and-- “That’s not--” His eyes rolled shut as Sam rolled her hips. Her name dropped from his lips like a sigh, his forehead coming to rest gently on hers. Quick as lightning, before rational thought had a chance to intercede, she brushed her lips against his. Breathing in his harsh pants, he almost caught her off guard, manoeuvring them so she was on top.

And then, sweet relief, they were kissing again. All Sam could do was kiss and breathe and become sensation, all centred on his lips on hers, his body thrumming between her legs. Her mind short circuited when his fingers tangled in her hair, pulling gently on the short strands at her nape. This was all she needed in life - him, surrounding her.

A snapping branch brought her back to the present. They might be superhuman with of the armbands, but they were still Air Force officers, and this was definitely behaviour unbecoming. “Shit,” she heard the Colonel (Jack) whisper as she sat up and analysed the dark horizon, trying to spot whoever it was out there. With cat-like grace, she got to her feet, and crept towards the noise, the Colonel two steps behind.

There. Holding up her hand, she indicated it was a lone person. On they went, quiet hunters when--

“Jack? Sam?”

“Daniel?” the Colonel hissed. To anyone else, this conversation would be inaudible. To them, with their armbands, it felt like yelling across football fields.

“Where did you--?” Daniel looked them both over and Sam squashed the desire to squirm. Understanding washed over him, and the need to squirm increased tenfold. “I saw nothing.”

“Nothing to see,” said Sam in return. They all nodded slowly. Hitching a thumb over her shoulder she asked, “Should we…?”

More nodding. As Daniel muttered about, “What happened to nobody gets left behind?” Sam caught the Co-- Jack's eye. He winked, smiled a very knowing smile (Sam could feel the blush extending to her hairline as she grinned in return), and followed Daniel to the fence.

These armbands were far too much fun just to sit around the mountain. Maybe she could suggest a race to his cabin instead?

Why nothing makes sense part 6.

Ghosted premiere edition 👻

When I woke up and read people talking about her being there, I definitely expected something much worse than it actually was. Don't misunderstand me; I obviously wasn't happy she was there, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be if she were there.

As always, there are things that just don't make any sense to me.

In the past few weeks, we've received no articles about them; the article about Chris didn't include her. However, on the day of the premiere, ET included pictures of the Valentine's Day video, and the Daily Mail also included her. It was like a reminder that, hey, he is supposed to be in a really loving and committed relationship with this Alba girl, remember? He was spotted alone, and we hadn't received any new content since Valentine's Day. The cheating rumor was also posted. I understand why many people think we are getting to the end of this shitshow, because it felt like it.

What's up with Tara and her family? So Tara and her family were in NYC yesterday, on the same day of the premiere, and Gully even met them before the event. Why wasn't she or they at the premiere? The fact that they were there on the same day and even met Gully would be too many coincidences if she or they weren't supposed to be there. But if both Tara and Alba's appearances were planned, then she couldn't have been the reason why she didn't go to the premiere? And they had time for it because, as it turned out, they went to the Broadway Museum before the premiere started. Or was she there? Because I know some people say she was, without any evidence, of course, but if she was there, why didn't we see her? And why wouldn't she arrive with Chris and Alba?

So the one and only time we say Alba was when they got out of the car with Chris, and then when we saw her going in with two people, who are supposedly Chris's friends or whatever. Where was everybody else? Tara was in town. Scott, Steve, Lisa, Shanna, or Carly? Where was everybody? They would've been better company for her, especially since they all adore her. Chris gave something to her; it wasn't his phone, that's for sure. They looked like some kind of tickets, I guess; maybe she got Tara's 😂 People also say they kissed in cars, but there is no evidence of that, and there is no way somebody can tell that from that video. I thought that if she were there, she would walk down the red carpet with him, which didn't happen. I'm not complaining, and I don't believe he was either. But what was the point of her being there? Why wasn't she on the red carpet with him, like his family members and friends usually are? I remember the Lightyear premiere, and I remember seeing Steve on the red carpet, behind Chris, while he was giving an interview. Why wasn't she there too? And please don't say that because of "backlash" or because "they didn't want to get bullied", because I have an easy solution for that: don't bring her to the premiere. He's never had a problem with not bringing his partners to premieres, but he didn't have a problem being at Jenny's premiere, for example, and he didn't seem to care about the backlash then. This whole premier thing was just as half-assed as everything else in this shitshow. You want to come to the premiere? Okay, I will do the bare minimum. You can get out of the same car as me, and we can have a fast chat, and then you can do whatever you want.

I hope those who said this will be the last thing he needs to do and then bye-bye PR contract and Alba are right.

That's my take on everything at this exact moment. Feel free to correct me if I made a mistake here and there 😊; I was trying to write down everything until this whole thing was fresh in my mind 😅

One Piece Live Action Season 1 Stream of Consciousness (Spoilers):

This will be a suuuuper long post and will literally be a random string of thoughts and will probably make no sense as a lot will be without context. Maybe just random lines that I enjoy and random gifs that just showcase the random points I like but enjoy

Episode 1

I love this. I love that they didn’t make it the exact same. And having watched the anime, it just makes the subtle hints amazing and when they mention something that wasn’t brought up till later *chefs kiss*. Like they showed Zoro being recruited by Baroque Works when they didn’t even mention that till they were in the grand line I think.

And all of the small hints to the characters like when you saw Cabaji in the scene before he was actually introduced. That’s one of my favorite types of foreshadowing.

Luffy supporting Koby’s dream will always be awesome. And Luffy comforting Koby after see the bad marines is so kind of him. I love him.

The casting is perfect. Luffy. Zoro. Nami.

Nami is me. Everything goes wrong “This is fine.”

OH MY GOD!! Buggy!!

Episode 2

Buggy is just a great performer!

This is gonna get repetitive I know, but they are all such amazing actors and actresses!!

“Cut you down to size.” 😂😂

SHANKS!!!

Episode 3

“Stupid clown” Zoro’s hate of Buggy is hilarious

Already the crew (“not a crew”) are supporting Luffy’s whims haha

“Fans have gotten so toxic” I love this characterization of Buggy

I’m liking how this is a little darker than the anime was. And I love how they are introducing bounty characters. It’s so cool!

Zoro gets thrown in the well 😂😂 And Koby popping up at the end like that was very cool. Love the music they play throughout everything. It’s really making the show better

Episode 4

Zoro is my favorite. He already was in the anime, but it’s definitely true for the live action as well 🥰

MURDER MANSION!!!

Zoro’s lack of direction sense has finally been shown!

The grandpa revel being much earlier in this version 😂😂😂

Episode 5

“You just call that guy grandpa?” Oh Zoro, just wait for it 😭😭 and then his “talk” with Luffy after the fight.

Luffy sniffing his way to the good!!

Omg! This Sanji has so much class and the immediate jokes the rest pull on Nami after he leaves 😂 I feel bad for those who haven’t watched the anime. They are gonna think Sanji is this slick cool character (and he is) but they are gonna realize he isn’t that… smooth. But look at him… I forgive him and support all his decisions

Mihawk is just so bored. “You woke me from my nap”

Koby is playing a much bigger part than I thought he was gonna. And standing up to Garp like that.

Mihawk “though I do like your hat” 😍 I love this man!

Episode 6

Luffy just wants Zoro to get better 😌

Poor baby Sanji screaming for the ship

And again with the foreshadowing with the story of Mont Blanc Noland

They really have changed the way this goes. Arming came to them and Don Krieg died by Mihawk earlier. Not too mad about it though. I think it flows better with the way they made the show. Like I said it’s a little darker and I’m liking it. It’s different but a good different.

Also yum! lookie! Very respectfully of course but still

And there Zoro is being a great first mate vowing to stand by Luffy’s side!!! Done differently but still so beautiful! Tears!!!

Zoro: “Why are we bringing the waiter?” Usopp: “Cause we can’t boil water” 😂😂 Zoro so much happened while you were asleep

Luffy just pulls out Buggy’s head for a bag!!

Episode 7

The chains in Nani’s map room… this is gonna be sad

Nami is trying so hard to mean all the mean things. I’m gonna cry just like when I watch the anime. I just know it.

Zoro’s constant side eye of Sanji is awesome and very in character

Oh lovely. I somehow didn’t realize I would have to watch all the sad things in another format. It didn’t really connect that

And Zoro being first mate again. That’s always gonna be my favorite thing. Even when it’s for sad moments

Nami’s screams… that was so real and heart wrenching and that “help me” scene was so on point. The one scene that was practically the same and it was the one that causes tears 🥲

Episode 8

The blood and chains and pain little Nami had to go through

“Finally I get to cut something” Zoro is so done with emotions 😂 he just wants to do what he does best

So I’ve thought this from the first time I watched Arlong, but why would he think a revolution started from the “weakest” sea have any traction. I get “plot” reasons, but still….

“Round Two, Arlong.” Yes Luffy! Go!

Buggy! That was so funny! I love this Buggy!!

And Zoro’s immediate response “Fucking clown” 😂😂😂😂 I love this so much y’all

Go Usopp!!! “No one’s around to see it. It’s okay. They’ll believe me” loved it the first time I saw it, love it now too.

Sanji gets kicked backwards and Zoro just casually walks out of the way and around him. I’m so glad they are still the same Zoro and Sanji as ever 😭

Sanji says that all the best fighters call out their finishing moves and Zoro immediately gets flashbacks to Luffy saying the exact same thing!!

The Garp and Luffy confrontation!!!

“Be a good Marine.” “Be a good Pirate.” Love them.

The barrel scene!!! Yes!!!

And the sneak peak at Smoker!!

I absolutely loved this!!! I need a full adaptation of the entire show and I need them to keep the same cast for them all!!

[dracaesusurro]

Can you do one with Neteyam and reader? When the reader goes on a separate hunt than Neteyam she gets hurt enough to need stitches, while in the hut getting her wounds looked at, Tuk comes in to show her a necklace she made for her and she pretends that it’s not that bad and when Neteyam finally hears that she was hurt and comes to see you, he’s mad at his father for separating you and Neteyam is there while she gets stitches? Then lots of cuddles and so forth?? 😍😍

Ahhh I love this idea!!! I’ll try to do it just like you asked ❤️❤️❤️

Pairing: neteyam sully x female readerNa’vi

Warning: mentions of blood, injury’s, a bit of angst

Summary: pretty much at the top 😂

You and neteyam have never missed a hunt together, so much so that it had become a long lasting tradition, the successful hunt, a victory dinner, the gloating feeling of being the top warriors yet again and the alone time you spent together to make up for lost moments. It was always something you did even as kids, training to be the best. It was for this exact reason that neteyam came to despise the idea of splitting up the hunt. Jake had separated you for the weaponry hunt, each of you will lead a team of trainees he said, one East and the other west to raid human territory and grab as many supplies as they can. The idea bothered neteyam, “but Sir the human territories can be dangerous you told me this yourself, what if the sky demons attack unexpectedly, a group of trainees don’t have the training to protect themselves, something could go wrong, someone could get hurt!” He cautiously hinted to y/n. His always been worried about her, the protective feeling he had over her wasn’t quite like a sibling love, it was something more passionate. The whole idea of this hunt was stressing him out, he had a gut feeling itching away at him, and he couldn’t get it to stop. “Neteyam, this is a chance for you to both prove yourselves, the team that comes back first will prove their rankings.” Stubborn as always.

As neteyam and y/n Walk out the tent Jake speaks again’ “prepare your troops you ride in an hour.” They nodded and left. As they reached the inner Forrest neteyam turned to her and held her arms showing that his serious, “hey listen to me, be careful out there ok? I know how reckless you can be and it’s dangerous territory, promise me you’ll come back with all of you limbs attached.” It quite flustered you how worried he could get, it made you feel inferior. That even his words of concern made you feel completely guarded. You giggled, “you know I can’t promise that. I live for the danger!” He gave a concerned frown, he wasn’t kidding huh “you know what screw it I’m coming with you” he looked back cautiously before grabbing your hand and walking quickly but you stopped him and tried to calm him down, “Nete, stop worrying will you, this is what we’ve been training for all these years to prove that we’re the best, and we gotta do this now, and plus do you honestly think you have the slightest chance of winning!” She mucked chuckling, “as long as your alright I don’t care about winning” you blushed slightly, boy did he have a way with words “your gonna have to care neteyam I’m going to do all its takes to win it, reckless or not.” You doesn’t know why you added that last part, maybe to throw him off his game, or maybe because you wanted to see just how worried he can really get. It made you feel guilty seeing his expression but the smirk never left your face. And with that you set off to prepare your group. “Gosh your gonna be the end of me you now that?!” Goddammit, may Eywa keep you alive…for me, he thought to himself.

———————————————-

You and your crew had reached your target, carefully you found a quiet area to lay low before you attack. You jumped off your Ikran hiding within the trees, from where you were there seemed to only be six soldiers guarding the armory, weak security for such important weapons huh…you thought to yourself. You signaled your team to spread out and prepare for attack, from behind you managed to take out two soldiers and began to walk towards the armory, this doesn’t feel right, it’s too easy. You approached the area quietly before you heard loud footsteps, more than ten men, you suspected but as they began marching out of the armory there were at least twenty of them or so. There was no way you could take down so many gun, it was a backfired plan, retreat. You called out to your team, using the native call, a screech to round them up and back to their Ikran’s. A few had retreated but you were blocked. The men were alerted now. This is not good…

There seemed to be a opening that led straight to you Ikran through the trees but funnily enough, it went through the soldiers too. I’m in deep shit now. You shot an arrow to the near by tree hoping to distract their notice even for a second to give you an opening to run, and it worked, with their backs turned to the commotion you made a run for it, you ran as fast as your feet could take you and you would have almost made it if it wasn’t for that damned grenade that was thrown at your feet. God dammit

——————————-

It had been a few short hours since the hunt and Neteyam’s troop had been back a long while ago, with everyone still waiting on you neteyam was growing more and more impatient by the second. “Sir we have to send out word for them, a team to see what’s taking them so long!” He had been bickering with his father for hours now, pleading to ride out and see what the delay is. He knew this hunt wasn’t a good idea, his got a horrible feeling. “We cannot panic, compose yourself my boy, if their not back by the eclipse I’ll send out riders to secure them” he stepped forward laying a hand on Neteyam’s shoulder, “a warrior can’t let his emotions get the better of him, it doesn’t help in any situation, be strong for her” neteyam didn’t care for anything his father had to say, all he could think about was what could’ve happened, what have you done this time.

—————————-

Everything around you was white, your ears screeched and your vision was a complete mess, you couldn’t see or hear anything, you felt numb until you sensed a hand land on your forehead, you began to panic, you had no idea who that was but something about their voice calmed you, you could trust them, they were one of yours. “Y/n calm yourself, we’re on the way back to home tree, your wounded but I don’t know the severity of it, best not injure yourself further, keep calm until we get home. You’re going to be alright” you’re going to be alright…. Neteyam had it all right, she was always reckless, she never feared for the worst but it was different this time, she really felt herself think of the worst, almost fear what could be, what could happen.

They reached home tree as they landed getting of their Ikran. A Na’vi from her team had ripped her away from the grenade just before it could destroy her completely and he brought her back home, she owed him her life. As they landed they were greeted by kiri and Lo’ak, she greeted them as best as she could but their faces were shocked to say the least, kiri audibly gasped slapping her hands on her mouth shaking her head, that bad huh…..“by Eywa y/n what have you done to yourself, are you alright?! Come on let’s get you to the healer before you bleed out” Lo’ak whisper yelled checking her body for any fatal wounds, “ and before neteyam sees you like this, he’d kill someone, and we definitely wouldn’t want that” he shook his head disapprovingly, “and I thought you were one for the risky adventures, what happened to live through danger?” You slapped his chest chuckling, trying to lighten the mood, he frowned. Key word trying. He looked up at you then down to your wound, “I can be a pain in the ass, sure I’m risky but I don’t want you to kill your self for Eywa’s sake, what would we do without you huh? I need you around to have my back, you can’t leave me alone skxawng” that broke your heart, Lo’ak is such a special kid, he’s always had a special place in your heart, he was your little brother, you placed your bloody hand on his cheek, “hey listen to me, I’m going to be just fine, no way in hell I’d ever leave you alone, what would you do without me… oh and who the hell are you calling a skxawng” you laughed and so did he but it stopped when you winced slightly, “alright cmon let’s get you to the healer” you were about to enter the hut when tuk jumped in front of the two of you looking down at something in her hand, “y/n!! Look what I made for you, I saw these flowers and I thought they smelled like you! Do you like the-” she didn’t get the chance to finish when she looked up and saw your state, she screamed a little jumping back, poor thing all the blood must’ve terrified her, “aww tuk it’s beautiful, thank you baby I’ll wear it always.” You smiled trying to comfort her as she walked away slightly shocked. “I’ll be alright yawne, go play with your friends I’ll come visit you soon alright?” She nodded and ran off. You walked in to the hut.

“I’m riding out now, wether you lend your men or not, something’s gone wrong, and you don’t seem to care at all, she’s one of your warriors too sir, but it doesn’t seem to bother you that she’s also like family to us!” Neteyam exclaimed panicked breaths leaving his mouth, chest raising up and down in a haste. Jake approached him towering over him, he wanted to say something harsh, teach him not to belittle his own father but the scared look in his sons eyes stopped him, “alright, take a dozen men and fly out, keep me reported” neteyam nodded hurrying to get out before tuk interrupted running into the hut, “Y/N’S BACK!! SHES DYING DADDY! HELP HER” she cried jumping into her dads arms, Neteyam’s face dropped as he looked back at Jake, without a word he ran out of the tent, sprinting faster than ever trying to find her, he didn’t even know where he was going. “Lo’ak where is she!? HEY! You hear me?! Where the hell is she?” He grabbed Lo’ak shaking him roughly, “alright alright! Calm down bro she’s in the healers hut, don’t go crazy she’s exhausted enough.” Neteyam scoffed whispering something under his breath. If she’s alive I’ll kill her myself.

You were speaking with the healer Miteria before a very concerned, angry and heavily out of breath Na’vi storms in scanning the room. His eyes lay on you and he becomes even more alarmed by your appearance. “What the hell is wrong with you huh?!” He looked like he was going mad, changing through emotions, “god what am I going to do with you?” His eyes softened, “are you alright? Where are with hurt?! Is she going to be alright?!” You shushed him, placing your hands on either side of his face which visibly calmed him slightly, “Nete, look at me, I’m fine it’s just a few scratches, she’ll get me patched up and I’ll be as good as new alright?” He looked to the healer for confirmation, “well boy it’s not just a few scratches, some are deeper but she’s going to live” she glared at you for underestimating it and neteyam kneeled in front of you kissing your forehead lightly before grabbing your hands, “but I gotta tell you, if you want to have a future mate” your eyes widened you cheeks going red, thank god for the blood….you looked over to neteyam who was grining at you “you gotta tie this girl to her hut and never let her out, I am sick of seeing you here every other day. You gotta cherish your life my girl not throw it at deaths feet and play with fate” she pointed her finger in your face before brushing your hair, you grabbed her hand kissing it, she was always like a mother to you, “alright Miteria I apologize for worrying your heart, but I can’t promise you wont see me at least once a week” you laughed winking at her and she slapped you lightly, “hey! Oww” neteyam laughed lightly eyeing you incase you were actually hurt, paranoid much.

She had finished stitching you up, and before she got up to leave the hut for you to get cleaned up she turned to the two of you and said, “you need to make sure she had a strict bed rest, I want you in bed day and night, no heavy movement for at least a week” she pointed at you both knowingly and you glared at her while neteyam looked down blushing, “if you can wait even that long” she mumbled but you both heard clearly, “miteria!!” You screeched but she only cackled and walked out. You turned to neteyam and after a swift eye contact you both broke down laughing, you laughed so hard that you felt you stitches shift and you Winced, “hey what’s wrong?” He asked you his smile disappearing, “just laughed a little too much, ugh my neteyam will you quit your worries!” You pushed trying to uphold a serious face, “how could I!? I turn my back one minute and you get yourself almost killed, your reckless and I have to worry for you, it’s my job. And you certainly don’t make it an easy one my y/n!” He smiled sweetly, his tone serious. “Oh hush now, you know you can’t live without me, I make your life interesting” he scoffed “if giving me a heart attack daily is considered interesting” you laughed out loud, smacking his head “hey!” “Oh come here and help me clean this blood off” you say climbing into the healers tub grabbing a wooden bowl and pouring it over your shoulder, neteyam grabbed it from your hands, he began to pour water on you body rubbing the blood off, his eyes on you. You turned to face him as he began to gently clean you face, he rubbed his fingers across you cheek and his thumb down you lips, the tension between you two could cut through glass. You smiled at him placing your hand over his on your cheek, “thank you yawne” he leaned closer hugging your head into his shoulder, “you can thank me by not showing up covered in blood like this, ever again” you placed your hand on his chest giggling furiously, “I don’t even know who’s blood this is to be honest” you continued to giggle as he looked up at you looking completely unamused “you are so not funny” you gasped dramatically as you swung your arms around his neck “I so am!” You stayed like that in each others arms for a while. Suddenly everything felt so much better. Neteyam’s heart could finally calm even if it’s just for a minute. “I think I internally traumatized poor baby tuk….”

27. How do they say “I love you” non-verbally? - with vampire Steve regarding Ransom and Sunshine and other characters, if you'd want to include them.

Obviously, Steve doesn't exactly love, but is there a non-verbal way he shows some form of care/connection?

I think Steve would tell you that love is a very human emotion that vampires, if they're doing it right, have evolved past. (There's a vampire/human pairing in this universe that love each other very much and have to interact with Steve somewhat regularly. He hates them because they undermine everything he stands for.) But he does have some close bonds and he does have and express affection for those people.

Ransom - I think he's not stingy with the praise when Ransom does something well, like brings him an especially tasty human or comes up with some intel that Steve can use to better solidify his position at the top. Ransom always knows when he's done well and Steve is pleased with him. He's also big on pet names, not just puppy, but baby, sweetheart, etc. And there are a lot of gifts. Ransom like Steve's incredibly expensive watch? Well, he'll torture some jeweler into giving Ransom one just like it.

Sunshine - Steve is going to come to feel about Sunshine like you might a favorite pet. But whereas I might personify my little dog to a ridiculous degree, Steve is always very aware that she, as a human, is basically an animal and far below him. She just happens to be his favorite human. So first and foremost, he shows his affection by keeping her alive and with him, even when it might become somewhat inconvenient. He also wants her to be comfortable, so he'll get her anything she needs or wants, within reason. And he's very tactile with her. Lots of soft pets and gentle caresses. And less gentle touching too, when the moment calls for it. 😈

Cutter - Steve trusts her and that's a big fucking deal for someone who's gotten where they are partly by not trusting anyone. He gives her responsibility. He values her opinion on plans and strategic moves. He's given her power within his organization, instead of hoarding it all for himself.

Cole - Oh Cole. This pathetic, wounded little bird is somehow the only one who's able to bring out Steve's caretaker side. He's invested a lot of time and energy into Cole. Steve teaches him everything he can. He cleans up Cole's messes. He keeps Cole around when everyone (Cutter especially) is telling him that Cole's a liability. Steve's soft with him like he isn't with anyone else.

I'm still trying to pin down Steve and Bucky's exact dynamic. But I would say the biggest "I love you" in the world is turning his secret boyfriend into a vampire so that they have to spend all of eternity together. 😂

Thank you for this! You know I always love talking about my powerful, toxic, vampire big bad. 💜💜

Ship Ask Game - The Basics

[dearweirdme]

Hi Rain, how are you? We are always talking about taekook and I tend to forget that there is a person behind the blog lol😂. How's work? How's 2024 treating you so far? How ate you coping with the absence from both Tae and Jk?

I'm feeling so unmotivated. I'm currently doing my master's and working, and I feel so burned out. So lazy...I just want my mom lol🥲. I just found out that my best friend and ex-boyfrend have been dating for over a year mind you this was my first love...I had hopes that we would get back together lol and I honestly don't know what to do...

Hi anon!

What a lovely ask! Thanks for checking up on me 😊. I've been well. Real busy atm with some private stuff (all good things thankfully). Work is going great as well. 2024 has been good so far and I hope it will continue to be so.

While my personal live has been basically unaffected by Tae and Jk enlisting, I do still have these moments where I miss them so much. It's not constant, but it's definitely there. I find myself thinking about them not having seen each other for almost two months now. I find mysef wondering how they are doing. They have been with us so much, and just the knowing that we can't expect a live from them at any time is... I don't know the exact word, but maybe it's best described as an emptiness. I've not been able to watch much old footage yet, but my busy times will be over in a bit and I'll probably start rewatching stuff then.. just to get a dose of BTS and Taekook😊. So yeah.. enlistment sucks!

Aside from that.. fandom has been all over the place and it's been bugging the hell out of all of us I think. I think all members being gone has left Army without a central point to balance us out. So yeah... enlistment sucks!

I am so sorry to hear about your heartbreak. Just know, that if he does't choose you, he is not the one for you. You deserve someone who chooses you. You deserve a friend who doesn't go behind your back. No matter how much you still loved him, he is not worth it if he doesn't love you back. It hurts now, but you will eventually find peace with it and better things and better people will come into your life. I can imagine how you feel right now, I've been through my share of heartbreak and it can be real tough. Your life is your own though, try not to let those two people who have treated you badly take over. Their bad behavior towards you is not a reflection of who you are as a person. Make yourself your priority. So... don't do anything about this situation except take good care of yourself and try to mend your broken heart. You don't need people like that in your life, because you will not be able to trust either of them. Focus on the future anon, you will do just fine 💜.
